Product Information

Full details

Designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike, these 32 x 3.35mm Unifix Copper Clout Nails are an essential hardware component for securing roofing materials and exterior cladding. Their primary benefit lies in their high-grade copper composition, which offers superior corrosion resistance, ensuring that your exterior work remains secure even in harsh weather conditions. One notable caveat is that while copper is highly durable and decorative, it is softer than steel, requiring careful installation to avoid bending the nail heads during driving.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these nails suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, copper is highly recommended for coastal environments due to its natural resistance to salt-air corrosion.

Can I use these for internal projects?

Yes, they are safe for internal use and provide a distinct, warm copper aesthetic for decorative woodwork.

What does the 1Kg bag typically contain?

While the exact count varies by specific batch weight, a 1Kg bag is designed to provide sufficient coverage for standard roofing or cladding coverage areas.

Do I need a special hammer for copper nails?

A standard hammer is fine, but a smooth-faced head is strongly recommended to avoid scuffing or damaging the soft copper.

Are these nails magnetic?

No, copper is a non-ferrous metal and will not attract to a magnet.

Troubleshooting

Nail head bends during installation

Reduce hammer force and ensure you are hitting the nail squarely; use a smooth-faced hammer to prevent damage.

Nail shank deforms in dense wood

Drill a small pilot hole smaller than the 3.35mm shank diameter to reduce resistance.

Copper surface losing shine

This is a natural patina process; if shine is required for decorative purposes, treat with a clear metal lacquer before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to rust and environmental decay
  • Large head design prevents pull-through in soft materials
  • Copper finish offers an aesthetically pleasing, professional look
  • Ideal for coastal or high-moisture environments

Cons

  • Softer metal compared to galvanized steel alternatives
  • Requires pre-drilling in dense hardwoods to prevent shank deformation
  • Higher material cost than standard steel nails

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires only a standard hammer, though for consistent results, a light touch is recommended. These nails are primarily intended for softwood timber, though they can be used in hardwoods if pre-drilled. To maintain the life of your installation, ensure the nails are driven flush with the material surface but avoid over-driving, which can crack the material or damage the copper coating. Store the remaining nails in the provided packaging in a dry location to maintain the luster of the copper finish over time.
